Fantagraphics Bookstore welcomes Daniel Clowes this Saturday, April 18th from 6Pm to 8PM, when the artist unveils advance copies of Complete Eightball, 1-18. Fans will be able to purchase the Complete Eightball, and we will be available for signing it or any other of his graphic novels.
In the most recent issue of The Stranger, Daniel Clowes recalls that “almost everything in the comic is based on something, a joke I had with one of my friends or a real-life experience, and all the characters are based vaguely on people I know… It all feels like reading a diary almost, even though it’s entirely fictional.” His combination of biographical fiction and sequential art has become a landmark in both forms of expression.
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is at 1201 S. Vale Street, Seattle, Washington, 98108. Don’t forget that April 18th is Record Store Day, and pay their neighbor Georgetown Records a visit.
